    I love this video! Other "learn to play" videos I've seen for TI just stop at presenting the rules without interpreting them or defining terms -- which isn't helpful if you're brand new to the game! This video does a great job at really laying a definitional foundation for new players and scaffolding them into a better top-down understanding. Thank you!

    • @CardboardCrashCourse

    @aj_8009 3 місяці тому

    Hot take - this is the best TI4 tutorial on UA-cam. It's clear, concise, and chronological. Very much appreciated!
    I have a slightly different understanding on two points, please can you check?
    1. You state that, in a 3 or 4 player game, 2 objectives are chosen in snake draft. However, the rules state that both objectives are chosen in clockwise order starting with the speaker.
    2. You state that ground forces that you wish to retreat are moved back into space during "Announce Retreat" (Tactical Action Step 3ii), however the rules do not state this. Instead ground units move to space as the ships move during "Retreat" (Tactical Action Step 3v).
    I would love to hear your thoughts.
    Thanks again for an outstanding tutorial.

    32:15 actually my group puts the turned custodian token near the score marker and the person who flipped it puts a control marker on it, then whenever someone plays imperial while on mecatol they also put a control marker there. I'd say this method is better since you can count all the control markers to know how many points everyone has and don't have to keep track of mecatol's points separately from the others.

    • @CardboardCrashCourse

      Though I rule this the same way you do at my game table, the rules actually state otherwise, surprisingly. It’s a house-rule. A really good one, but still

    • @russbryan6925
      @russbryan6925 3 роки тому +8

      @@CardboardCrashCourse This is incorrect. While it is true that one objective is recommended in the "First Game Setup," presumably because new players won't have any context to help them choose, the standard rule is to draw two. From LRR "Complete Setup," Step 12 - Prepare Objectives: "Each player draws two secret objectives and chooses one to
      keep. Shuffle the unchosen secret objectives back into the secret objective deck without revealing them."

  • @peekitty
    @peekitty 3 роки тому +5

    Another minor error: If you take a Legendary Planet Ability card from another PLAYER, yes, it comes exhausted. However if you gained it from the deck (i.e., you were the first to take it), it comes readied.

    Thanks again for this awesome video

    • @CardboardCrashCourse
      @CardboardCrashCourse  Рік тому +2

      Hi there! Although I probably won’t make an official video to address it, the wording of Planetary Shield is as such:
      If a unit has the “Planetary Shield” ability, the planet where that unit is located is not an eligible target for other units’ “Bombardment” abilities.
      So, in essence, it turns off Bombardement for against the planet it is on.
      Thanks for the kind words!

    Hi just watched this an must say it is the best explanation of TI4 I´ve come across so far. Also noticed you did not upload for some time and there are still a lot of factions to explain, will you continue your work (which would be much appreciated) or did other aspects in your live take priority over youtube? - If so I would have to search for another channel delivering quality contend on TI4 .... and there are not that many.

  • @peekitty
    @peekitty 3 роки тому +1

    Great video! I spotted an error, though. You say that in a 3-4p game Strategy Phase, everyone chooses their first SC and then their second SC "in snake order" (which means "first to last, then last to first"). That isn't right. You choose your first and second both in standard order, starting with the speaker then clockwise, ending with the person to the right of the speaker. I think you may have internalized a house rule there!

    • @CardboardCrashCourse
      @CardboardCrashCourse  3 роки тому

      Wow, thank you for the clarification! That must be a house rule then! Take that part with a grain of salt, but I appreciate your kind words otherwise

      @@CardboardCrashCourse I agree with Peekitty, and would like to add that this changes the game significantly, giving 4th player position too much power, and making the speaker token way less desirable. You might wanna add a correction to the video about it. Whether or not you do, I would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video. Good refresher for me after not having played for more than a year.
